New track that I just uploaded...check it out...if you have a couple of minutes..

The beat feels appropriate for the current state of affairs worldwide...

It’s a very good remix or chocolate rain.

*of

Well that totally stole the spotlight.

pretty cool.. way better than chocolate rain

That's what I was thinking, too.

But the chocolate rain reply was pretty funny.

Sorry, double post.

I know there is more than I can do to it to make it better, but sometimes when you try to make something better, it makes it worse. That's why I stopped where I am at and just uploaded it.

Sounds like looting music.

Why does everyone believe they can just do things and it will be all pro and shit? You want to know what I think? Go spend years studying music composition, theory, and production, or keep making sub semi pro stuff and expecting everyone to think it's any good. Granted the world is packed full of simpletons so I mean wth woa Vicky can be a millionaire f it get some.

Since when can we can promote our you tube channel on GLP ?

Sounds good but needs more risers, white noise, impacts, etc... more high end sizzle and production value for the builds between sections.

Good mix though.

Also, it seems to be a little too consistent on the 8th note piano part.

Maybe add some notes of other length in there to make the motif less repetitive.

I'm not trying to sell my music. I wouldn't monetize my YouTube channel even if I could. I just use tools that are at my disposal to play around with music creation. It's a hobby.

There is whole lot of assumptions you are making about my music, my intentions and me that are erroneous.

I would love to study music theory and composition. Not to make money selling beats, though.

The bass drum sound is too flat for me, needs depth and a deeper bassier tone.

Also, don't like the snare sound at all, it's mixed a little too loud as well.


Get the bass drum deeper and dial up a different snare sound, should be good.

production quality stuff. good.

Thank you for the reply.

That is pretty much what I was thinking it lacked, as well.

I'm currently relabeling and organizing what the track looks like in the DAW, so that it is easier and quicker to alter.

I agree about the bass. The low end of the track is mainly just the kick drum. It needs a bassline.

Thank you.

Here is the new and improved version of this track...

Too repetitive and boring. Needs a middle eight, needs some changes, needs some harmonic complexity. It goes nowhere.

A little repetitive towards the end, but not bad.

i think you should write a song and sing it,

it will give the music character,

Groovy. 5*s

Not bad...I could see this being used in many ways..background music especially.


No we dont because you're too arrogant to engage in a simple conversation about some music someone made as a hobby. Get lost...

Not bad at all I like it, especially the main beat. :)

I'm listening to this on nice monitors in my studio. Sounds good to me, no major complaints on the mix. There are certainly things I would do differently, but that falls in the area of subjective taste rather than you doing something objectively wrong.

The only problem I have with the track, is that it is too repetitive and isn't really "going anywhere". If there were vocals it would add some variation and interest and it might be fine as is. Not amazing, mind you, but fine.

But an instrumental track really needs to do more than this to keep up interest.

Which makes mea bit sad, actually. I mean, I keep hearing people making hobby music on their computers, and it's almost always the same thing: they slap together a loop and repeat it for x minutes. Done.

It's quick and easy to do this, but unfortunately the result is but a cheap imitation of "real" music too. Everytime the exact same thing repeats twice, the song dies a little. Repeat it four times and the listeners start to lose interest. Eight times, and the angels weep.

In other words, what's in there actually sounds pretty nice, but there's too little composition/arrangement/performance/production value added to it, so it ends up sounding like a first stab at a demo idea, meant to be developed into something more substantial later.

I'd really like to hear what it would develop into in it's "final form", instead of just this. Because it actually sounds like you'd make some good stuff, if you just put in the required amount of effort.

Perhaps you are too quick to start mixing and getting the sound right? A tip that would probably help you, is to COMPLETELY ignore mixing and just work on the composition for your next track. I mean, don't put a compressor or reverb or anything on anything, just arrange the music. Only when you feel the composition is done can you get to mixing and making it sound right.

This approach moves your focus from fiddling to get the perfect sound, to composition and arrangement. And then there's actually something there worth fiddling with later.

Try it. And keep us informed on the result!
